What is "basundi"

Basundi (பாசந்தி) (बासुंदी) is an Indian dessert mostly in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka. It is a sweetened dense milk made by boiling milk on low heat until the milk is reduced by half. In North India, a similar dish goes by the name " rabri".

It is often made on Hindu festivals such as Kali Chaudas and Bhaubeej (Bhai Dooj).

Different styles of basundi are also prepared like sitaphal ( custard apple) basundi and angoor basundi (basundi with smaller kinds of rasgullas).
